The Negros Oriental lawmaker is at risk of more sanctions, such as extended suspension or expulsion.
The ethics committee has been insistent that it would not allow Teves to attend the hearing via video conference.
The Negros Oriental lawmaker also said in his letter that he would be taking a leave of absence from the lower chamber. He had said the same thing in March, but the House ignored his request.The House leadership once granted Teves a travel clearance, but it expired on March 9 with the Visayan lawmaker still out of the country.
“It is hoped that your committee will not take lightly the matter of taking any action on my membership in the House, at least without adhering to the basic tenets of the fundamental law, which should govern all of its actions, lest the ramifications of disregarding the provisions of the Constitution go beyond the present Congress and result in weakening the independence of the great branches of government,” Teves said in his letter to the ethics committee.
